Why This Must Be Read: I have never been okay (and I will never be okay) with William's storyline, and I won't say that reading this magically cured me or gave a headcanon to assume as mine but it did sooth my soul while I read it. It's an au, a crossover with x-men, but it's done in such a beautiful way that it makes it all blend together perfectly. It's mostly from the point of view of Scully, and her thoughts and feelings are so raw that I was in tears for some of it, her interaction with Kurt was heartbreaking and hopefull at the same time. Mulder's feelings, though less in the spotlight, are also pretty powerful.
